Anyway QF has parked until mid 2023 the only aircraft they have with F (A380), so QF has no F pax for that lounge. The QF F lounge is closed. When that F lounge will reopen is anyone's guess. QF will not flying to USA until late Oct at very best.

Here is a recent article from the Executive Traveller website that covers QF extensively (Australia based) that discusses the matter. And since they get paid for access by other OW partner airlines, they don't need to necessarily offer F to open an F Lounge outside of Australia, such as LAX, if it makes commercial sense, for OWEs and perhaps AA, BA and CX First flyers if travel corridors open up.

From https://www.executivetraveller.com/n...lounges-reopen :

" "We'll reopen our international lounges as soon as there's enough commercial demand, particularly at Sydney and Melbourne, if they're the likely Australian ports" for travel bubbles, Qantas Chief Customer Officer Stephanie Tully enthused to Executive Travellerin December 2020."
